When does the sick feeling end?

My dd2 is 7wks old and I started having nausea off and on for a few weeks. I was getting the morning sickness feeling when I first started bf, but it came back. It is always when ever I nurse right after eatting or if I am hungry and time to nurse and I drink my water and/or munch on something like I get this overwhelming need to puke.

Re: When does the sick feeling end?

If I am not nursing and about to have a let down (usually at work) I feel that way. Almost like I am getting ready to have a panic attack or something. At those instances I really wonder why I am bfing...then 10sec pass and i am fine and love bfing again. But if I could take away those 10sec bfing would be even better.

I still get those feelings occasionally, lo is 5 mths old. It is hard and it seems to happen more when I am very hungry. It sometimes seems like I have an upset stomach or something. I keep hoping it will go away but it hasn't though it has improved.

Mom to Abigail, born May 3rd, 2007 (self-weaned at 27 mths) and Charlotte, born Nov. 24th, 2009. Both reflux babies and EBF. Charlotte weighs 31 lbs at 26 mths.

I also got that sick feeling but it diminished and went away after about 6-8 weeks. It helped to be hydrated and nurse on a not-full but not-empty stomach. To be honest, it didn't mind it too much because it put me off food for a couple of hours each time and I gained 60+ lbs when I was pregnant.

I still get it sometimes esp. when I pump but it goes away after a few seconds.
